@CYBER-NINJA said in TDR125 4GW:
@tdr125greg Sure looks sweet there bud, I love the polished ali look myself and would keep it all that way! Not sure if you said it before but are you going for the SM look or not? That bike with high mudguards would look unique and much like a CRF me thinks.
@CYBER-NINJA yeah man Polisport SM line fender and a front mask headlight. as much as would like to have my frame all polished and dam bro iv thought so many times about polishing it i always come back to how schweeet and how much less maintenance it would be to have the chassis powder coated in a graphite/slate grey
@tdr125greg Too true, you can protect polished stuff with ACF50, which does a cracking job of protecting it for-sure;

But hey I hear what your saying with the powder coating and at least your sticking with the silverish theme. I'm sure she will look sweet once your done and be unique as I said before.
SEDUCED BY THE DARK SIDE!!!

@CYBER-NINJA as regards to polished goodies though i do have a few bits to go on
i intend to have completely polished engine cases and so i will definitely need to look into a product for protection cheers buddy it means a lot. -

-
@CYBER-NINJA yeah man wheels will stay black for sure . and now you have mentioned HONDA CR thoughts of a CR tank and rad aare Overloading my mind lol im guessing the only issues would be mounting points???...
and as far as panels go they will be a shade of blue but as of yet iv still not choosen THE ONE that stands out for me .....
-
@Mightyman Right, I was thinking this myself...
-
@Mightyman Shiney steel - all polished up then!!!
-
@Zrako calum's method works great. i've got some close up pictures so you can see how it works
https://dt125r.co.uk/topic/595/project-i-can-t-leave-things-alone
i used a stock dtr lower bearing in the frame with the yz forks and the stock yz top bearing sat in the new bearing cup
@gareth_iowc awesome mate , defo will do the cup. What material did you used?
Btw what you planning to do with the other yz engine?
-
@Zrako the guy made it out of alloy
The 1lx is up for sale
-
@gareth_iowc I was wondering if alloy is good.
@Zrako It's going to be softer than steel, the head stock can take a battering as well, it's under some levels of force. But I'd imagine it would be fine. After all the aprilia is an Alloy Frame/Headstock.
So it should be up to the task fine.
Always Originate, Never Pirate!
